If you have not heard of New Mexico head coach Paul Weir, it is understandable. Even he'll jokingly tell you that he's still not sure if he's a good coach yet. He has only one year of experience in charge of a program, a 28-6 season at New Mexico State last year that saw the team make the NCAA Tournament. When he was hired there, he became just the third Canadian to coach Division I men's basketball, and the first since Pete Newell stopped coaching in 1960. And now, he's taking over a job that Colorado State coach Larry Eustachy called “the worst” in America due to the expectation level and relatively low salary.
